Do bed bug mattress covers work?

Question

Nicholas · Answer

Bed Bug covers will protect a new mattress and prevent it from becoming contaminated though it will not provide much protection if the the mattress has already been contaminated with an existing presence. This highlights the Aphorism that "prevention is better than cure".

Desmond · Answer

No bedbug covers do not work your sheets need to be on a high heat wash once or twice a week if that doesn’t work call pest control

Pm · Answer

from my experience no I'm sorry they wouldn't, the treatment of either heat or chemical would be required and if the infestation is serious then complete removal of bed would be required.

Hello June.
If you are 100% clear of Bedbugs then they do protect them from harboring in the mattress. Please be aware that they can use any suitable safe cracks and crevices. These include bedframes, skirting boards and plug sockets etc.

No,is the simple answer,bed bugs will get anywhere

Chris · Answer

They can at times, but are of in the frame, especially divan bedframes.

Jeff · Answer

In short- No. You need to treat the property with a residual insecticide or a heat treatment. They are notoriously hard to get rid of and may need multiple treatments

Brian · Answer

If you already have bed bugs then mattress  covers won't help. Bed bugs are attracted to body heat and co2 and don't just harbour in mattresses.
